Worship
July 6, 2008
During this service, we will celebrate communion, and welcome our guest preacher, the Rev. Fletcher Harper.
The Rev. Fletcher Harper, an Episcopal priest, is Executive Director of GreenFaith, an interfaith environmental coalition based in New Jersey. An award-winning spiritual writer and nationally-recognized preacher on the environment, Harper preaches, teaches and speaks about the moral, spiritual basis for environmental stewardship and justice.
Founded in 1992, GreenFaith is New Jersey’s interfaith coalition for the environment. GreenFaith inspires, educates and mobilizes people of diverse spiritual backgrounds to deepen their relationship with the sacred in nature and to restore the earth for future generations. At a time when religious conflicts dominate the headlines, GreenFaith unites people of diverse faiths toward the shared value of caring for the earth.
GreenFaith’s work flows from its core values of Spirit, Stewardship and Justice in relation to the earth. GreenFaith believes that · people grow spiritually through a strong relationship with nature · environmental stewardship is a moral responsibility · people of faith have a vital role to play in the restoration of a clean, healthy environment. Through religious-environmental education programs, by greening the operation of religious institutions and the homes of their members, and through legislative advocacy and values-based environmental activism, GreenFaith helps religious institutions and people of all faiths put their belief into action for the earth and all its inhabitants.

The A CapPALS
Next meeting July 12, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
The A CapPALS is an a cappella PALS (Prayer Activity Learning Sharing) Group at Trinity United Church.
We are a group of people who love to sing and harmonize. The group presently has members from 4 different churches. About half are choir members from Trinity United Church (TUC). We generally meet one or two Saturday mornings a month at TUC, from 10 AM until 11:30 AM. At each meeting, from 10:00 until 10:30 is our time for prayer, learning and sharing; from 10:30 until 11:30 ~ we SING! We sing all kinds of music: sacred, show tunes, spirituals, hymns, etc. We sing just about anything that we can find with an arrangement for 4 parts (SATB) that has good harmony. The group sings once or twice during summer worship at TUC, and also for occasional outside events. The group sang in worship three times in 2007, and again most recently on February 17, 2008; they are planning to sing again during "Worship Under the Stars" on August 31.
Examples of our music include: It is Well with My Soul, Think About His Love, Love Lifted Me, Do Lord, Give Me That Old Time Religion, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, Grandfather's Clock, Steal Away to Jesus, You'll Never Walk Alone, Siyahamba (South African Freedom Song), When I Grow Too Old To Dream, The Band Played On, When You Wore a Tulip, and much, much more.
Everyone who is interested is invited to join us! If you want to know more, or have specific questions, please contact Harry Morgan via phone (732-469-5994) or email (hgm4@msn.com).
